Sedmog juna 2023. godine održana je konferencija Tailoring the future for Women in WB Region u Prištini. Konferencija je bila posvćena nedostatku sistemske podrške ženama.

Jedna od panelistkinja bila je Dušica Jeleč, predsednica Centra za unapređenje društva. Dušica je skrenula pažnju na nedovoljnu i neadekvatnu podršku ženama koje su žrtve nasilja, ali i da umnogome izostaje i ekonomska podrška.

Mnogo se govori o rodnoj jednakosti i liderstvu žena, a ne pruža im se adekvatna podrška u svakodnevnim problemima. Za njihovo bolje i bezbednije sutra, važno je biti tim ženama oslonac, kako bi se osamostalile i postale spremne da postignu odlične rezultate u svom životu.

Zahvaljujemo se OPEA Organization na gostoprimstvu i odličnoj organizaciji.

Conference “Tailoring the Future for Women in WB Region” Held in Pristina

On June 7th, 2023, the “Tailoring the Future for Women in WB Region” conference took place in Pristina. The conference was  focused on the lack of support for women within the system.

One of the panelists was Dušica Jeleč, President of the Center for Society Advancement. Dušica drew attention to the insufficient and inadequate support for women who are victims of violence, highlighting the often the lack of economic support.

While much is said about gender equality and women’s leadership, there is a significant gap in providing them with adequate support in their daily challenges. To ensure a better and safer future for them, it is crucial to be a support system for these women, enabling them to become independent and ready to achieve excellent results in their lives.

Special thanks to OPEA Organization for their hospitality and excellent organization.

Četvrtog juna održana je još jedna redovna radionica sa mališanima iz doma u Beloj Crkvi. Radionica je bila posvećena zdravlju, a jedna od aktivnosti bila je da se deca motivišu da jedni o drugima zapisuju samo lepe osobine.

Tokom ovih radionica trudimo se i da ih podstičemo da što više čitaju i pišu.

Drugari su se zasladili trešnjama i jagodama a potom uživali u zajedničkim  sportskim aktivnostima u dvorištu doma.

Iskoristili smo priliku da napravimošto veći broj slika, koje će ostati kao divna uspomena.

June 12th, 2023, Workshop on Health Held with Children from the Institution for children without parential care in Bela Crkva

On June 4th, another regular workshop was held with the little ones from the institution for children without parential care in Bela Crkva. The workshop was focused on health, and one of the activities was to motivate the children to write down only positive qualities about each other.

During these workshops, we also strive to encourage them to read and write as much as possible. Friends indulged in cherries and strawberries, followed by enjoying shared sports activities in the institution’s courtyard.

We took the opportunity to capture as many pictures as possible, creating wonderful memories.

Već dva meseca razvijamo program podrške ovim mališanima, bez finansija, tek toliko da platimo ponešto!

Centar za unapređenje društva već godinama pruža podršku našem prijatelju, a sada i kolegi, Miroslavu Zdravkoviću. Miroslav već duže vreme posvećeno radi na integraciji slepih osoba u društvo i zalaže se da se o njima što više priča.

Miroslav je ponovno okupio ljude u Konobi iz različitih područja, uključujući medicinu, glumu, medije i studente humanističkih nauka.

Pomogli smo da se zamisao pretvori u stvarnost, da iznesemo nekoliko reči o životu ovih ljudi, da ih smestimo za stolove s onima koji dobro vide kako bi ih ljudi bez problema sa vidom čuli njihovu priču i zaista ih upoznali, kao i to da mlada slepa lica još jednom pokažu svoj talenat.

Raduje nas što je, na poziv Miroslava, naša najvažnija gošća bila Vesna Radosavljević, voditeljka sa RTS-a. Podstaknuta našim radom, pozvala je da se što više govori o ovim divnim ljudima.

U ugodnom ambijentu, pedesetak ljudi uživalo je u razgovorima i razmeni iskustava. Zahvaljujemo se Konobi, koja već godinama podržava ovakve skupove i omogućava da ova okupljanja postanu nezaboravna.

Gathering with the Visually Impaired Individuals  at Konoba

For years, the Center for Society Advancement has been providing support to our friend and now colleague, Miroslav Zdravković. Miroslav has been dedicating his time to the integration of visually impaired individuals into society, advocating for more talking  about them.

Miroslav has once again brought together people at Konoba from various fields, including medicine, acting, media, and humanities students. We assisted in turning the concept into reality, shedding light on the lives of these individuals. We arranged for them to sit at tables alongside those with good vision so that people without visual impairments could hear their stories and truly get to know them. Additionally, this provided an opportunity for young visually impaired individuals to once again showcase their talents.

We are delighted that, at Miroslav’s invitation, our most important guest was Vesna Radosavljević, a host from RTS. Inspired by our work, she called for more discussions about these wonderful people.

In a pleasant atmosphere, around fifty people enjoyed conversations and exchanged experiences. We express our gratitude to Konoba, which has been supporting such gatherings for years, ensuring that these meetings become truly memorable.

Danas je akcenat bio na pisanju. Deca su pisala o tome kojih sve 5 ciljeva žele da ostvare u narednih godinu dana. Neki su pisali i  kako planiraju da ispune te ciljeve. Ovo je jujedno bila i jedna od vežbi koje služe za vežbanje pisanja.

Sačuvali smo papire sa njihovim ciljevima, koje planiramo da im vratimo pri završetku projekta, ali ćemo ih podsećati na zapisane ciljeve.

U drugom delu aktivnosti sledio je sportski program na terenu.

Zahvaljujući našim studentima volonterima, i mi smo se prisetili školskih dana Ponosni smo na ozbiljan rad i postignute rezultate!

Another Weekend Dedicated to the Little Ones

Today’s focus was on writing. The children wrote about the 5 goals they want to achieve in the next year. Some also wrote about how they plan to accomplish these goals. This was also one of the exercises for practicing writing.

We’ve kept the papers with their goals, planning to return them at the end of the project, but we’ll also keep reminding them of their written goals.

In the second part of the activity, a sports program followed on the field.

Thanks to our student volunteers, we recalled memories about our school days. We are proud of the serious work and achievements!
